A row of devotees in saffron and orange clothing sits along a long wooden table at an outdoor sadhu camp, passing silver thali trays holding small oil lamps and marigold petals. In the foreground, a figure wearing a maroon-red turban with a golden crescent ornament, a yellow-orange marigold garland and a black garment is seated beside a bearded man in orange, both reaching toward the trays. Behind them, more saffron-clad men and boys lean over the table, and corrugated metal sheeting lines the left side. The scene suggests an offering or ritual meal setting with warm lamplight.
